Constructing a Cardboard Castle with PaperHand Puppet Intervention

A few weeks ago I had the honor of being approached by Donovan Zimmerman, Director of PaperHand Puppet Intervention (and a friend), to help him construct a giant castle using his favorite material cardboard. This endeavor was being commissioned by Burt's Bees, for the Earth Day celebration that they hold every Spring in downtown Raleigh, near the Museum of Natural History.

I had helped to paint some sets for PaperHand the last two summers, and Donovan and then-Co-Director Jan Burger gave Tyrius the Tire Worm his first break break, back in 2008.

It was quite an experience, which I have to share some of soon.
I also have alot of great photos of the process of this creation being both built and enjoyed, which I also hope to share soon.

Of course, the first step to construction a cardboard castle, is to make some bricks....


Visit Scenic Cardboardia!
